"The whole point about corruption in politics is that it can't be done, or done properly, without a bipartisan consensus."
"All questions of right to one side, I have never been able to banish the queasy inner suspicion that Israel just did not look, or feel, either permanent or sustainable.

"To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation-is that good for the world?"
"What better way for a ruling class to claim and hold power than to pose as the defenders of the nation."
